after taking the train from the airport to silom and getting hassled by street vendors i was pleased to find the hotel, good rooms, clean, tidy and a very reasonable price. pool was good for getting over the jet lag and then right in the heart of the patpong markets which makes bangkok all that more exicting just to have a good wonder around

Instead the boy looked almost angry and told me that he had only wanted me to kick it to him. Dismayed I continued my journey through the maze. As darkness began to fall and the temperature dropped we decided to forsake all hope and ...

... I hung out in her room and talked a bit more about travel planning and other stuff and I finally went home around 11:30 pm. I took a taxi because I was lazy and it cost about 40 baht - they are very close by.

I was afraid that I was going to wake people up in my dorm room when I got back but it turns out no one was asleep yet. In fact there was only one other girl in the room, in the bed across from mine (although two other girls came ...

... ever seen. Jessica went pretty fast despite her maxi-dress and old flip-flops. When we arrived at the gate, of course that plane wasn't boarding for another half hour. So we waited and took some more photos, Jess looking as beautiful as ever. A fantastic flight over Bangkok at night showed us the beautiful city lights of the old city. Jess and I laughed at the dubbed safety video with the most ridiculous sounding ...
